I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Sound Studio, Tkyo Animation Studio, Elffire City.

Ryoko walked with Amber following her.

But three other people also followed her.

Kanai, Emina, and Oichi followed the blue-haired girl with their hearts pounding wildly inside their chests.

Suddenly, Ryoko entered a room that was beside one of the meeting rooms of the sound studio.

The room looked like the office of someone.

It had a privileged view of the city and it was also spacious.

Although this office was not as pretty and good as hers, this office was definitely of someone who had an important position in the studio.

Ryoko took a seat on the couch by the side and motioned to also take a seat.

When everyone was seated comfortably, Ryoko smiled at them and said, "We checked your assignments. And I have to say we were impressed by it. You guys are amazing!"

Ryoko was genuinely impressed by it.

After Theo finished the evaluations, he send to Ryoko a detailed review of each of the 30 animations with sound effects.

And when Ryoko saw the animations that Emina, Kanai, and Oichi produced and read the detailed review from Theo.

She had to admit that the three of them were geniuses!

Ryoko was happy that she was able to find such talented people to work in the studio.

She was sure that they would be a great addition.

When the three of them heard Ryoko's compliment, they could not help but smile.

All the effort they had done was worth it.

"It will be our pleasure to hire you three to be our employees. This is your employment contract. And you will see that your contract is different than a normal employment contract. I will comment on it after you read it." Ryoko said as Amber took the cue and handed to the three of them the contracts.

They nodded and started reading the contract immediately.

They were the bosses of a studio before, so they had enough knowledge to understand the contract and its consequences.

Ryoko waited for them to finish reading patiently as she went through her Wing account.

Kanai, Emina, and Oichi showed different emotions as they read the contract.

But when they finished reading, their faces showed surprise and joy.

"I see you finish reading it." Ryoko commented with a smile when she noticed that they put down the contract.

"As you can see. We will pay your debt fully. And you will pay us the amount we spent with half of your salary until the debt is paid. But due to your amazing performance in the test, we will assign you Leader Positions with higher salaries. This will make it possible for you three to pay the debt in less than 5 years."

"After you finish paying the debt, your salary will be reinstated fully. Plus, if you show a great performance, you can be promoted and earn more money. Any questions?" Ryoko asked with a smile.

Emina, Kanai, and Oichi had happy faces as they heard that.

These conditions were much better than they were hoping for.

They could even rise through the ranks of the studio!

"Yes, it says here that the minimal amount of time of our contract is until we pay the debt. What happens with our employment after we pay the debt?" Emina asked.

"Your employment will follow the standards of any other employee of the studio. If you do well, you are better viewed and rewarded. But if you perform poorly, you can be fired." Ryoko replied calmly.

The three of them sighed in relief when they heard that.

After all the trouble they faced being the bosses of a studio, they just wanted to work in sound effects behind the curtains for the rest of their lives.

And being a normal employee of such a great studio was much better than they could ever imagine.

"What are these leader positions we will work at?" Oichi asked.

"Good question. We hired 30 sound engineers and designers. So, we decided to dive you guys into three teams of 10 people each."

"Each one of you three will be the team leader of nine other people. Each team will get its own workstation and offices. This office we are in currently, for example, is the office that one of you will be working at." Ryoko explained as she looked around the office.

The three of them had excited faces when they heard that.

They liked very much the work conditions that Ryoko explained.

This way the three of them would not clash with each other.

"When we will start working?" Kanai asked.

"Next Monday. We are currently producing an anime that will be launched in less than 4 months. So, we are racing against time. But you guys will understand better when you participate in the creative meeting we will have on Monday." Ryoko replied with a small smile.

The three of them were a little surprised when they heard that, but they decided to only ask about it on Monday.

"Now you can ask me any questions about how I knew you did not leak the episodes." Ryoko suddenly said with a calm voice.

But even though she was calm, the three of them were nothing but calm.

Their emotions waved hard when they heard that.

They clenched their fists when they remembered their past.

They wanted to know what happened!

"What happened exactly?" Emina managed to ask as she gritted her teeth.

"Well, as you may know, we from the Tkyo Studios were looking for professional sound engineers and designers to work for us. I was searching for these professionals when I came across your story. For me, it did not make any sense that your studio leaked these episodes. You guys would earn much more if you did not leak the episodes." Ryoko started as she looked at the three people older than her.

She saw the rage they felt about what they suffered as they listened to her explanation attentively.

"Even if all evidence showed you guys did it, I still suspected something was off. So, I contacted the owner of our studio and explained to him the situation. I can't tell you much about him, but you should know that he is a man with ample resources. He said to me that he would look into it. A while later, he told me about what he found out." She continued the explanation.

Emina, Kanai, and Oichi felt a wave of gratefulness when they heard about Ryoko's belief in their innocence.

"He told me that what happened with you guys was a 2-side job. A hacker attacked your network, but he would not be successful if there was not someone inside." Ryoko finally said the words.

And the effect of Ryoko's words was as expected.

The three of them had shocked faces.

"Was there a traitor among us?" Oichi gritted his teeth in rage.

Emina and Kanai showed painful expressions.

They cared for their employees so much, but it seemed that it was not enough.

"My boss managed to find out that one of the assistants that worked in your company received a load of money and left the country. It was through him that we managed to find traces of the hacking job. But we did not find enough evidence to know where the order to hack your network came from." Ryoko said as she shook her head.

"I can tell you the name of the employee for you to verify that he is indeed living a very well life in another country, with what I saw through his Raingram account." She added as she told them the name of the traitor.

Oichi, Emina, and Kanai noted the name to search later.

They wanted to see with their eyes the bastard who betrayed them.

Shortly after, the three of them signed the contract and Ryoko started the procedures to pay off their debt.

They all had happy faces as they left the office.

Tkyo Animation Studio finally had its own sound effects team.

Theo's dream was becoming reality little by little.
